Web Site FAQs

  • Where does my request go?

    Your encrypted request is emailed to our Internet Department. A reservationist will review your request and email you a completed quote, usually within a few hours. When you receive your completed quote from us, you can then confirm it by paying for it if you choose to do so. After we send you a final quote, we will make a temporary, non-binding reservation in your name in order to lock-in the rate we quoted you. If any sale or promotion applies to your reservation, our email response will notify you of the impending deadline. By sending a request to us, you are not under any obligation to rent a car.
